Cave Bear

Allosaurus


CAVE BEAR - SNAP TOGETHER - 1:13 SCALE
Kit # 738 Designed by - ??? Sculpted by Box Art - ??? Instruction Illustration - ???
30 parts. (counting the 2 skulls with jawbones). Molded in a dark brown. From the '72 series. Never reissued. The arms and legs move, the head swivels, and the teeth move. Not too hard to find. Usually missing the teeth, or the skulls that go on the base. Also tends to be missing the wall as it gets mixed in with cave parts though. Not a real demand item though since it doesn't look very prehistoric.So prices tend to be mid-ranged.

This is the cave bear that I have.
I won this one in an auction. I got it just like you see it here. Turned out really nice. Can be seen in the My Kits section.

I never had this model as a kid. This kit was originally supposed to be a grizzly bear for the "Wildlife" series, and it shows. There is nothing that seems prehistoric about this kit to me. This model is ok, but not as interesting as a dinosaur. I'm thinking about putting my extra sabertooth with this when I get around to building mine. I think it would make it more interestng having the bear and tiger fighting each other.
This model has movable head, arms and legs.

Also can be combined with the cave in several different ways, as the piece of the Cave Bear base is the same size and shape as 2 of the Cave base pieces.
So, if you take the Cave Bear, you can still use 3 extra Cave base parts to add to it and they will fit fine with the Cave. Also, from what I can tell, the Cave Bear wall fits fine with the cave walls, so the options are pretty wide open on what you can do with these combinations.
